Do Bears Eat Rigid 2" PVC?

Black bear visit last night. LARGE black bear visit. I suspect he/she started with the bird feeder. Which of course, he/she bent to the ground like a wishbone. That's been done before. He liked the seed mix and decided to move on and look for more. He/she found it. In the locked shed. Locked? No problem.... karate jab through the door. Oh... LOTs of seed in this closed, galvanized garbage can. Hmmm..... what's in that cardboard box? Oh... schedule 40 2-inch rigid PVC conduit couplings. Yummy!

Looks like I have a Saturday project repairing a shed door. Oh... and there will be no more birdfeeder. Sorry guys.

About this blog

The Rensselaer Plateau, about 9 miles wide and 20 miles long and covering over 100,000 acres, is New York's fifth-largest contiguous forest. It is one of the largest and most ecologically intact habitats in the United States. Designated a U.S. Forest Service Legacy Area, the trees, vegetation, and elevation (as high as 1,800 feet) are more similar to the Adirondacks than the surrounding region. A steep escarpment marks the Plateau's boundary.
I live on Taconic Lake (elevation 1,650 feet) on the Plateau in the Town of Grafton. Postings on this blog will focus on my nature observations and interesting items relevant to the Plateau and nearby area. And... other stuff that I just find interesting and want to share.

"I can't easily imagine life anywhere else. Sitting in my study, with my books all around me, with my filing cabinets close at hand, looking out on lawn and garden and fields and woods, I know that this is where I belong."Granville Hicks (1901-1982), Grafton, NY, Part of the Truth, page 306.

"We live on a dirt road almost exactly a mile north of the highway, a road that is a pleasure six months of the year and a problem the other six."Granville Hicks (1901-1982), Grafton, NY, Small Town, page 3.
